    Marcus, thank you so much for putting in all the hard work you do to bring us this great instruction. I found your channel 5 days ago and have been hitting my irons like never before. I now understand and know where my club head is during the swing. Before, when pulling the club I had no idea! Have not tried driver yet. Thanks again, I appreciate what you are doing!

    when I started playing golf 22 years ago as a 26 handicap, my first instructor said "hands lead, body follows" Very few instructors adhere to that principle and if you watch slow mo videos, it always looks like lower body initiates downswing.I never think lower body but its available to follow hands through shot. I'm now 5 handicap. As RIGHT HAND golfer, fast hands with pushing action at top of swing throws my trail, right hand/ shoulder "over" naturally because that is how the right shoulder works anatomically. A soft ,gentle PULLING or frisbie throwing or dropping motion of left hand at top of swing should allow inside out swing [ if you dont spin lower body] because that is how left hand, shoulder works anatomically .At the end of the day, you have to trust easy, soft downswing with hands in a split second and it's ALL RELATED to timing, tempo and how body-mind feels that day. I spray, push, pull balls all over course on full swings 70% of time because of "trail" side being the strongest part of my body. I have great sand, chip,putt skills.In my mind for 22 years, I see "draw" but never/rarely can hit one. Jim Venetos come closest to teaching draws but he tells everyone to disregard the movement of hands and arms and just to stay still with 70% of your weight on front left foot for right hand golfer. You teach to pay attention to hands.I would love to learn how to play with trail side hands. Please keep offering videos

    The pull has long been my nemesis. And I always feel jammed coming through impact with a poor follow-through. Went through your five part series and:) hit gorgeous baby draws; 2.) body moved much better through impact; 3.) follow-through “just happened.”
    I realize that I’ve been trying to do the wrong thing (and been successful!). This is pure magic.

    Hello from France
    I just discovered your RUclips channel which seems really good to me. If I understand correctly, a "push" consists, for a right-hander, of hitting the ball with the right hand and a very passive left hand and for a "pull" with the left hand and a passive right hand

    • @GolfwithMarcusEdblad
      @GolfwithMarcusEdblad  Год назад

      Welcome to the channel. To hit a ball we need to choose to pull with the lead hand or push with the trail hand. To create speed we need to have a faster moving trail hand than the lead hand. Watch this series and you will understand:

    Hi Marcus
    Oh, thank you so much, I say it as a fellow golfer and teacher. This is has been my narrative and I Had Already learnt from Tiger woods via video. Now hearing you validates mine even more.
    In my opinion it is all jugglery,all the magic comes from hands.
    Tigerwoods talks about hands.
    Let me put it this way, no Cheff can be a good a cheff, if he does not have good hands and no matter how many diplomas he has but he does not have good hands.
    I share another of my view point with you, understanding is moral than knowledge.

    Hey Marcus love your videos! I've had tremendous success following your instructional videos and maybe I'll tell my story some other time. I have a tip that maybe some of your viewers can find useful like I have. I notice you do not wear a glove. I swing right handed and of course wear a left hand glove. I bought a right hand glove and did some of your drills with a glove only on the trail hand instead of the lead hand. This really helps your brain focus on the trail hand passing the lead hand. Yes I said that last sentence to myself in your voice lol. With a glove on the trail hand, I can focus better on the trail palm down on irons and trail palm up with the driver. I think it will help to focus on pushing the ball instead of pulling with the lead hand. I might have got some funny looks with a glove on the wrong hand, but nobody was laughing when I started dropping high, long bombs on the driving range with my driver.
    Thankful in NC, USA

    Following your videos and using a short training club to go through the motions. I normally hit 270 yard drives sometimes to 300. My normal shot shape is draw with pushes on occasion but my bad shot is a pull hook. I understand your concepts and trying to incorporate them in my swing. We got a break in the weather so I hit the driving range. Nice powerful draws one after the other was the result on the driver. I hit two pull draws but recovered on the next shot. Thank you so much looking forward to next season.

    @nreid4486 2 года назад +2

    Just took 30 shots with my PW in back yard to hit 45yd pitch shots alternating between pulling and pushing. Focused on identical grip, stance posture and ball position. I noticed that my contact was slightly better using a pulling motion vs. a pushing motion. Use a 10 finger grip with thumbs on side of shaft. Ball distance and flight were similar as well as drawing the ball and hitting straight shots. I don’t slice the ball nor hook it. Because I’m ambidextrous I assume this drill isn’t really influencing me one way or another. I try and think about a fast trail hand and slow lead hand with longer clubs though. Guess I’ll check up on the next vids coming up to gain further insight. Great content as usual Marcus!

    Hi Marcus, love your teaching and approaching of the „golfshot“. And it makes totally sense to me, also have a hockey background and depending to that I was fighting fat shots in the beginning…
    Never found a method like this here in Germany. Just a question according to the pushing action: what do you feel with your lead hand? Maybe a little „stop“, so that the trail hand can overtake?!
    Do you have or can you explain this lead hand „feeling“ in a video 🙏🏻 For me a split hand grip was a good practicing method to feel this 🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe you agree with this.

      It is always hard to see details in a video. The trail arm will rotate a little bit, but should never twist the club face too much. If you watch the club, the tow should be going up only in the finish. If the club ghost too much around your body. It will probably end up being a hook shot.

      I am following your ideas and swinging in to out. Working every day to get better. I used to hit a knuckle ball, low spin and low trajectory but it ran out past my retired pro friend . Initially I hooked the ball after trying your concepts but now that’s not happening.I have though lost a bit of distance and tend to hit it straight right. I’ve never been a slicer but I can’t find a draw with the driver but am drawing the irons. ( even the wedges) but all a bit low trajectory though.
      Should I persist/ try to extend more and come back wider or accept I can’t generate enough speed for a king, high draw?
      I was fitted for a driver at Ping HQ in the U.K. and they recommended more loft to get more spin and higher flight but it didn’t really work for me.

You need an earlier release to get the low point earlier and hit more up on the ball to get it airborne.

    Hi Marcus. Loving your work... Question..(i think this is the million dollar question between the god gifted and us mere mortals)... When I find I focus on my hands and get those working what starts happening is the rest of my body goes to sleep.. ie i stop turning the shoulders fully or i forget to maintain posture. etc etc. Any tips to find the balance of keeping all the focus points moving as a team?

    • @GolfwithMarcusEdblad
      @GolfwithMarcusEdblad  Год назад +2

      Good question! When this happens the focus is normally too much on hands and wrists. The engine in all throwing, hitting and pushing motions are NOT the hands, it's your arms.
      We need a fast trail hand to speed up the club but the energi comes from an active trail arm, your hand is only holding the club. The fast extension of the trail arm will trigger most golfers rotation. If you push a grocery cart forward your hand is holding the cart but your arms and body is doing the work. OK?
